New term, new standards!

6 January 2015

We begin the spring term with mandatory standards for all.

This is a great moment for campaigners, schools and parents as we now have regulation to support our quest for healthy children who are ready to learn. These are robust standards to ensure that children eat well at school but they’re also easy for catering teams to understand and implement.

There’s lots of help out there for schools. Let’s start with four top tips:

If your school is an academy established after September 2010 and before June 2014 don’t miss out on the opportunity to review your menus and join the crusade! Sign up to the standards here.

The final word goes to schools minister, David Laws, who is a passionate supporter of this policy "Providing healthy school food boosts children's health and education. It gives them the fuel they need to concentrate inside and outside the classroom and establishes healthy eating habits for life".
